Mel is the consummate professional. The absolute best of the best…read more If you're looking for a marine mechanic you can trust, look no further. Mel is always booked weeks in advance, and there is a reason for that - it's because he is very very good. After buying an older model boat and getting ripped off by a couple of unscrupulous marine mechanics (unfortunately there are a lot), I was referred by a friend to Mel. I am confident saying I've met my mechanic for life. Mel is hard working. I've seen him break a sweat hauling big engines over his shoulder or having to use a hand or electric Sawzall to cut out an uncooperative part of an engine. He is committed to doing to the job and doing the job right. Mel is smart. He knows out to think creatively when challenging situations arise with older tough-to-service boats. Mel is knowledgeable. There is nothing he hasn't seen. He has thousands of hours (over 30 years) of Marine mechanic experience and is certified in every meaningful marine mechanical skill. Mel is honest. He won't pressure you into doing work you're not ready for or don't need. He will give you an honest accounting of the facts and help you make the right decision for you, your boat, and your budget. He believes in the long-term relationship. I can't recommend Mel highly enough. It's a privelege to be his customer.

I will say Ken is a straight forward guy and I do appreciate that. However, it was a disaster…read moreworking with him. He charged me top dollar to re rig a new outboard motor for my boat recently purchased and delivered to him. He called me when the job was done demanding I " come get the boat NOW because I need room!" Then he added " just one little problem, it doesn't run" He wanted me to pay him the full amount we agreed on too. He said it was a harness problem and take the motor back where I bought it. I showed him a video of the engine running at the dealer location including with the factory harness which they are required to do and he said "they probably used a different harness to cover up the bad one they sold you" Ken also clipped some wires he said " I didn't need" The dealer repaired Kens wire cuts and explained these harnesses are all plug and play and very simple to install. Ken also ignored the fact my battery cables were old and would also contribute to the engine failing to turn over. I shouldn't have paid him but did so thinking once it was proven there was nothing wrong with the motor he would man up and return some of my money especially after now having to fork over $800 to the dealer for repairs of his work .

His quote was very reasonable. He estimated the job would take about 2 hours -- it ended up being 2.25 hours, so basically spot on. The work was clean, efficient, and done right. My seat looks great. If you need upholstery work done without the runaround, give Daniel a call. Highly recommend!

About 2 weeks later, he came to my house and picked up the seats. And he delivered them back to me. He finished the job on time and on budget.

I highly recommend Daniel and his shop.

Called numerous places throughout Northern California but was turned me down everywhere because they are 10+ years old. Found NorCal watercraft on Yelp and decided to give them a call to see if they can inspect & do a much needed tune-up in hopes of being able to run these skis before the summer ended. They said no problem bring them in . They were up & running within a timely manner. Took them to the river this weekend & they both ran great like new. They also educated me as I am a beginner with water-crafts, what to do & look for, how to properly winterize, and answered all my questions. Highly recommend!!! They have earned my business forever!!!

I was pressed for time and had a small window to get this done. I called and spoke to Nathan and he was able to accommodate my schedule and get the job done and on time. A bit about the service. I did receive a call from Nathan about my jet skis and he was able to thoroughly provide a status and clearly explained what he found. My main concern was the switch, he tested the switch and the relay and everything was good. He told me how to rectify the problem and did not recommend changing any parts. I asked about replacing with new parts and he told me it would function the same. I appreciated his honesty and was pleased he did not take advantage of an opportunity to make more money! The customer service was outstanding! I talked to both Nathan and Marina and they both were nice and pleasant. When I arrived they both greeted me and helped me unhook my trailer. When I came to pick up my jet skis, Nathan showed me my old parts and explained what was done. Marina took my payment and they both assisted with hooking up my trailer. I definitely will be back to winterize and service my jet skis. Great job Nathan and Marina!

Thankfully, everything went well, but he spent the extra time going over things I had not even mentioned, for example checking belts, tightening hose clamps, tightening packing nuts on the prop shaft as well as the rudder.

I will certainly be using him in the future from now on!
